FireCrunch Helps Eliminate Tree Destruction

These NEW composite MgSO4 K-Clad products save millions of oxygen-generating CO2 absorbing trees to make paperlined plasterboard. Plasterboard and lining paper production contribute significant levels of toxicity and eutrophication to water, as well as toxicity to land. Eutrophication occurs when a body of water receives an excessive nutrient load, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen as from wood pulping. This often results in an overgrowth of algae. As the algae die and decompose, oxygen is depleted from the water, and this lack of oxygen in the water causes the death of aquatic animals, like fish. Chemical wood pulping involves the extraction [...]

About FireCrunch – The Real Value of Magnesium Oxide Construction

As governments struggle with climate change policies and the use of building materials suited for the diverse Australian climate, one manufacturer in the Australian construction industry has already made the move to planet-friendly building materials. Developing stronger and more durable 21st century techniques, the FireCrunch composite (Green Now) structural building material eliminates some 95% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in production. It also eradicates the need for mass destruction of oxygen-generating CO2 absorbing trees just to make weak, ineffective, paper-lined plasterboard. New Generation Product with Multiple Benefits Magnesium Oxy-sulphate (MgSO4) is a recent development in a new generation of MgO [...]

Bushfire protection is what we do

Bushfire protection is what we do and after 10 years in the Fireboard industry, FireCrunch products are now used extensively throughout the country. FireCrunch has been tested by NATA laboratories in Australia ( CSIRO) and others - see certifications. The increasing intensity and duration of bushfires is what Australia has to contend with in dryer and longer summers. New regulation and modifications to older bushfire systems to eliminate exposed timber and use masonry walls in many cases have made this a very expensive exercise. FireCrunch has however been able to design new systems under the new NCC structure (National Construction Code) [...]

Gyprock Alternative

Gyprock Board and plasterboard types have been sold for the last 60 years mainly because there has been nothing in an improvement in a Gyprock alternative or equivalent fire tested building board or environmental building board to better clad the interior and exterior of homes and buildings. FireCrunch has developed a wide range of interior and exterior use Gyprock alternative building board cladding products that have huge user benefits compared to weak high maintenance in "so called" Fireproof Plasterboard, and the very harmful health effects of such paper based products in enabling mould mildew and bacteria to grow upon it.

Bushfire Seasons

Bushfire seasons are getting longer each year The Californian bushfire tragedy reminds Australians that our own fire season is imminent – no one wants to lose their home over the summer, but it can be hard sometimes to know what you can do to protect it. The good news is that an Australian company has introduced a new fire-proof building product that will revolutionize the fire-proofing of Australian homes, AND without breaking the bank. Most Australian homes, 70% in fact, are constructed of timber framing or brick veneer with plasterboard and timber stud walls. This makes them a huge fire [...]

The Bushfire Season got off to an early Start

Protect Your Property & New Builds Concerns are mounting about the upcoming bushfire season after the ACT experienced its driest June on record and sixth driest July since 1982. The new head of the ACT Bushfire Council, Sarah Ryan, said recent weather conditions had prompted concerns about the bushfire threat in the capital. "We are more concerned about the upcoming season than we were last year," Dr Ryan said. "There's been very little winter rain throughout south-east Australia and it's been quite warm, so it's expected that the fire season this year will be more hazardous." This alarming concern [...]
